D22: 8 Miles & The Shoshone Plateau
Trip Start
Jul 07, 2012
Trip End
Sep 27, 2012
By 7:15 AM, Tommy and I had breakfast preparation underway. The meal: Cheesy Biscuits. I'd made them once before about 10 days prior and they were a big hit. This time was no exception. Luckily, it was a very fine, relatively warm morning so my hands were not frozen in the dough. Because we were camping at 9,800 feet, I had already resigned myself to the fact that the morning would be very cold. The warmth was a welcome surprise.
The consistency of the dough was a touch more watery than I wanted, but the overall effect was the same as before and that's all that matters: Delicious goodness. Something about a biscuit stuffed with a large hunk of cheese, subsequently fried, does the soul right.
At 9:30, we were on the trail. I was leading the first group with Theo, Hunter, Avery, Tommy, and Annemarie. The first hour and thirty minutes saw us climb about 1500 feet over 2 miles. We got to take a break on the side of a hill after an hour, which gave us a spectacular view of our campsite the night before from over 1,000 feet above it. Seeing your previous night's sleeping place as a small grassy patch from that high up is a lovely reminder of just how small we humans really are.
When we crested the hill onto the Shoshone Plateau, a very large, flat area sitting at over 11,000 feet, the trail disappeared in favor of cairns. Someone had gone to great lengths to build them, as each one consisted of a 3-5 foot tall tree trunk surrounded by big rocks. There weren't any trees or big rocks in the area, so someone had to carry them at least a few miles. Champions. We followed the cairns for the next couple miles, with the next one coming into view only as we met the current one. This led to just a bit of consternation on my part, peering across this vast space in all directions and having little clue as to where we were going next. Eventually, we broke out the compass to confirm our direction, like real wilderness folk. Not having a map for this section made things a bit tough, but with a little collaboration, we made our way to the big checkpoint before we got back on an actual trail: Cougar Pass.
From there, the incline stopped and the decline began in force. Over the final 5-6 miles of the hike, we hiked down 2,600 feet. This can get very tough on the feet and knees, with constant, sustained pounding over a few hours. We did witness some very lovely scenery on the way down, including a waterfall that cut into a snowpack, so that a tunnel through the snowpack was formed by the rushing water. By the end of our 8 miles, we were quite bushed and began to scout for camp and kitchen. My group had gotten to camp around 5 and was once again awesome. I got a lot of great feedback and was able to give the same to the group as well.
Once again, leave it to me to be the guy responsible for a mix-up :). We had counted out our 70 paces from water to kitchen, and a successive 100 paces from kitchen to camp. Unbeknownst to us, the river sharply curved in towards our kitchen, meaning that we were only 40 paces from the water. Figures :). So, upon the instructors' discovery of this fact, I got up and counted new paces for kitchen, which we would end up moving to once dinner was finished.
For dinner, Theo and I made a tasty rice & bean chili, which more than hit the spot after an 8 mile day. As I was preparing an Absaroka Mudslide for dessert, we heard a loud clash of thunder and had to retreat for cover, getting into lightning position once we got there. As I crouched under a tree, staying out of the rain for the most part except for the stray drop or two that maneuvered its way through the myriad of branches and pine needles, I had a good moment of reflection about the trip so far. This was one heck of an experience. We'd hiked 80-90 miles in the wilderness of our own volition, cooking meals, working together, and enjoying scenery few people in this world ever get to view. What a wild and crazy adventure, with just a few days remaining. Something about the soft pitter patter of rain against the forest floor as dusk quietly approaches...it always brings me to a place of quiet introspection, lost in thoughts of life and the important things and what's to come. Good things to ponder.
The lightning and rain dissipated after about 15 minutes, and dessert was a raging success. The Absaroka Mudslide provided the carmel-like goodness for which I'd been hoping, graciously satisfying my sugar tooth. Didn't help me get to sleep though. Even with 8 hours of hiking today, the Absaroka Mudslide kept me lying in my sleeping bag staring at the tent ceiling for at least an hour. Quite a rare occurrence on the trip. But eventually, Sleep stopped playing hide and go seek in the woods with Father Time and the Boogeyman and tucked me in for the night.

Ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia after 6 h passive hyperventilation in humans. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9882758 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
1. Acute exposure to hypoxia stimulates ventilation and induces hypocapnia. Long-term exposure to hypoxia generates changes in respiratory control known as ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia. The object of this study was to investigate the degree to which the hyperventilation and hypocapnia can induce the changes known as ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia, in the absence of the primary hypoxic stimulus itself. 2. Three 6 h protocols were each performed on twelve healthy volunteers: (1) passive hypocapnic hyperventilation, with end-tidal CO2 pressure (PET,CO2) held 10 Torr below the eupnoeic value; (2) passive eucapnic hyperventilation, with PET,CO2 maintained eucapnic; (3) control. 3. Ventilatory responses to acute hypercapnia and hypoxia were assessed before and half an hour after each protocol. 4. The presence of prior hypocapnia, but not prior hyperventilation, caused a reduction in air-breathing PET,CO2 (P < 0.05, ANOVA), and a leftwards shift of the ventilatory response to hypercapnia (P < 0.05). The presence of prior hyperventilation, but not prior hypocapnia, caused an increase in the ventilatory sensitivity to CO2 (P < 0.05). No significant effects of any protocol were detected on the ventilatory sensitivity to hypoxia. 5. We conclude that following 6 h of passive hyperventilation: (i) the left shift of the VE-PET,CO2 relationship is due to alkalosis and not to hyperventilation; (ii) the increase in slope of the VE-PET,CO2 relationship is due to the hyperventilation and not the alkalosis; and (iii) ventilatory sensitivity to hypoxia is unaltered. |

The history of Jeep and the U.S. military are so intimately intertwined that it's hard to tell the story of one without the other. The Willys MB was the definitive and original "jeep" that helped Allied forces to victory in World War II. The Toledo, Ohio, assembly complex, although having gone through many changes in its 75-year history, remains the spiritual home of the Jeep brand and the source for most Jeep models to the present day, including the Wrangler and new Jeep Cherokee. As a salute to veterans following this past weekend's Memorial Day holiday, the plant has erected a permanent memorial at the complex near the intersection of I-75 and I-280.
The memorial consists of life-size metal silhouettes of soldiers and a restored 1942 Willys MB that plant workers found on a Craigslist posting in Texas. When the seller was contacted by the plant, he immediately pulled the posting, sold the Jeep for $950 in exchange for a plant tour. A team of 15 employees from the Toledo plant restored the vehicle, and plant volunteers also made the metal silhouette cut-outs.
87-year-old Toledo retirees Lewis and Leroy Woggon were present at the memorial commemoration ceremony. Both served as combat engineers in World War II and returned to work for more than four decades at the Toledo plant. Both Lewis and Leroy's sons also worked at the plant. From the start of wartime production in 1941 until the end of the war in 1945, the Toledo plant produced 363,000 Willys MBs. After the war, a civilian version (CJ) was introduced for the thousands of veterans eager to own a version of the trusty workhorse they relied on during the war.

Need help fixing/trouble shooting kicker ZX 700.5
Couple of weeks ago I was doing some work on my system and accidently made contact between the sub output wires. It happened before, and the amp has gone into protect, but this time it stayed in protect.
Pulled the board out and found a bad IRF640 mosfet in the class D section. There are two IRF640 side by side and I replaced both. Connected the amp today to test, it turns on fine but I can barely get any audible sound from my subs or the mains. It does not matter which rca jacks I plug into, the output is the same. The amp also stayed cool to the touch. Its almost like the am is kinda turning on but not fully? On the same row as the IRF640s there is also 4 or 5 IRF9640s. I did not replace those. I feel like I have partially fixed it but obviously something else is still wrong. Again, amp turns on but volume is very low, adjusting the gains and volume does increase output be only by a very small amount. Thanks. Last edited by akh; 15th January 2013 at 10:47 PM. |

What is the DC voltage on the center legs of Q611 and Q612?
What is the DC voltage on either leg of R256A? Have you checked the shield ground for your head unit? RCA Shield Repair

I am not using a head unit, I am using the 3.5mm jack to rca from my Galaxy Note II.
I will get the voltages in a bit. Thanks for your time. |

. Well it looks like I did fix the amp. Turns out I didn't cross the wires, but there was a short in the line going to the sub. I figured this out when I disconnected the (-) terminal on the amp for the subs. The mains played fine, except for some alternator whine that was not present before. Then I noticed that I was getting some output from the subs despite the fact that the (-) terminal was disconnect at the amp . So I went through all the wires and sure enough there was exposed wire grounding itself to bare metal near my gear shift. Fixed that and all is good!

My amp is working still after the repair, and I am finally getting around to my install. However, I have noticed an audible hum in the repaired class D section. It could be it was always there, and its just normal for the amp and I never noticed. But I thought maybe it had to do with the repair?
Other 4 channels are clean, its just the class D section. Running at 2 ohms to two subs. Adjusting the gains makes no difference. Car running or off, makes no difference. Source unit is Note II with stock internal Wolfson DAC running off battery power only. Any thoughts? Thanks |

Chemical Week Magazine :: Business & Finance :: Europe/Mideast Sonatrach Picks Total and Consortium for Petchem JVs10:33 AM MDT | July 25, 2007 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff State-owned energy company Sonatrach (Algiers) has selected its foreign joint venture partners for two previously announced world-scale petrochemical projects at Arzew, Algeria (CW, May 31/June 7, 2006, p. 25). The company will link up with Total to build an ethane cracker and ethylene derivatives complex, and with a consortium including Lurgi, Mitsui & Co., and Qurain Petrochemical Industries (Kuwait City) to build a methanol plant. The ethylene complex will cost about $3 billion, Total says. Total will hold 51% of the jv, and Sonatrach will have the rest... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers.

Yea Big/Kid Static are a rap group from Chicago that are trying to make sense of the hipster dance rap that the Cool Kids, Kid Sister and Flosstadomus have made their city known for but at the same time showing a definate glitch Prefuse 73/Flying Lotus tendancy. Kid Static's flow sounds kinda awkward but I mean who could sound fluid over a hybrid of two different styles of electronic music. Especially when a "real" hip hop vibe prevails.
Awkward Party rap will prolly go over well @ bike punk haven Monster House.
Awkward, rapping, bike riding fan of Columbus punk, party animalEnvelope is performing backed by DJ Detox also.
I can't see how this rare Hip Hop house show doesn't end up being memorable. I mean the show deserve attention on the merits off of ..when have you ever seen a all-hip hop house show?

The Final So What Wednesday
So What Wednesday, the weekly Hip Hop night at Bourbon Street will be coming to a close tonight.
Here are DJ Detox's parting words.(the night was named after Daymon Dodson aka So What)
Rest In Peace Daymon Dodson Racist Joe So What!
The night's been goin on for 2+ years now thanks to the support from the people of Columbus. Both from the many people that knew Daymon and some who didn't. When it comes down to it, I feel like Big Daymon would have wanted it this way. Holding down a weekly for 2years in Columbus is no easy feat and i feel like all in all its been a successfull night. Better to go out on a high note than to burn out, Nahmean?
Big thanks to the many cats that have been helping with this nite since day ONE! Wes, Blueprint (ya'll held it down and helped out with the nite every week strictly for the love and I appreciate the fuck out of it). Adam, Alex, Witzky and all the rest of the bartenders that have helped out with the nite. Pos2, LoZone, Rare groove and all the other djs the came out and helped. And all the regulars that showed up every week and partied with us. Shits been a blast and I expect tonight to be no different. Hope to see some of ya'll (who can) out!

New Lone Catalyst Video-Make It Better
I spoke to the world's nicest man in Hip Hop today J-Rawls, today. He told me that Lone Catalyst had a new video. The clip pays homage to classic Hip Hop records, and makes a nod Krs-One's "My Philosphy" . Peep the cameo by DJ Detox's hands towards the middle. And myself at the very end. I was really drunk that night so I am thankful that the audio doesn't exist to the public.

The night before the Twiztid Show, DJ Detox, DJ True Skillz, DJ Gaybar played records in a completely opposite enviroment; a Short North Queer Positive Watering hole. Our heroes spun at Sweatin, a monthly dance party, located at the East Village Cafe that owns the Girltalk, Justice, and Blog House so-called "hipster" crowd.
The dejays angle on the evening was disco in the loosest sense of the word.

Blueprint + Zero Tonight At Cafe Bourbon Street.
Blueprint and Zero Star are performing at So What Wednesdays, which is located at Cafe Bourbon Street in Columbus, tonight.
Here is a quick interview I did with Printmatic.
Wes Flexner-What are a few Hip Hop Weeklies that stick out in your mind?
Blueprint-Ohio would be Bernies(Fonosluts) Columbus #1, and Topcats #2. They were the best hiphop nights I've ever been to for different reasons…Bernies was rowdy on some youth angst clash of cultures type shit, and the music was really diverse. Topcats was dope only because it was the only outlet in a city with no outlets, and because people used to get regulated on so quickly. A lot more beatdowns at Topcats, but a lot more classic hiphop moments at Bernies. Topcats also had that straight edge, grafitti writer, hip hop head, meets g rapper element to it. That was the last place I battled at with regularity because you could guarantee it would be against somebody who hadn't heard of me.Bernies was a place you had to earn respect before you got the mic at, and Topcats wasn't really.
WF-How long did Top Cats go on for? I know Bernies went on for like 6 years.
Blueprint-Top cats was about 5 years.
WF-Girls Girls Girls. Why do most Hip Hop nights struggle on the girl tip?
Blueprint-Because dudes who aren't around enough women put hiphop nights together. Most dudes don't even acknowledge the fun factor, and the fun factor runs hand in hand with the female factor. If the women come to your event then you're doing something right. Not that it has to be girly music but its gotta be something normal people ie Women can relate to. Dudes just wanna rap and get glory. Girls just wanna have fun. You have to meet somewhere in the middle to get girls out.
After the jump, Print gives hip hop dorks lessons on meeting women. He discusses future music and touring plans, and tells me how Envelope earned the nickname "the white ODB".

By Amber Goodhand – Radar Reporter
For the first time, we're seeing Charla Nash's new face — she's the woman who was brutally attacked by her friend's chimpanzee two years ago and lost most of her face, but underwent a revolutionary face transplant three months ago.
"I'm beginning to feel my jaw and chin. And I can move my mouth and smile," Nash told the Today show. "I still feel weak…but little by little I'm getting stronger."
The progress and recovery of Nash's face transplant is remarkable and it took a team of more than 30 surgeons and nurses nearly 20 hours at a hospital in Boston to rebuild her face.
Watch the video on RadarOnline.com
"New hope has been sparked. It's just so nice to see her ready to get at it again," Nash's 17-year-old daughter Brianna said. "For her to make an expression…it's just nice that her body language can express how she feels."
Nash has been unable to eat solid foods since the 2009 incident, but thanks to her face transplant she was able to eat eggs and cream cheese for her first non-liquid meal.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: See Injuries Caused By Bite From Dr. Phil's Dog
Nash, 57, also had her hands torn off by the chimp and underwent a double hand transplant at the same time she got her new face, but they had to be removed after complications caused low circulation in the new hands.
The donor of Nash's new face has been kept secret and the lead surgeon Dr. Bodan Pomahac said, "From what we know, she will not resemble the donor. She will be looking like someone a little different than she was before the accident, but different than the donor."
PHOTOS: Puppy Love: Stars and Their Dogs
Nash will continue with intensive therapy and her brother Steve says the family is "optimistic" about her future.

Can feel sparse at times, just like being in space,
This review is from: The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Old Republic (Hardcover)
The book collects mainly character designs, environment art, and some spaceship designs. It's also a making-of book that explains at length on the production of a game with scope this big. I like reading insightful productions stories. The remaining text serve as commentary on the concept art. The art is sci-fi art, of course, for the Star Wars universe. For the character designs, you can see some design clues that are distinctly Star Wars, such as armor and helmet. Sometimes they are also quite different. What you can see are the eight character classes with their few costumes and sometimes weapons. Creature and spaceship designs aren't a lot. The main draw of the book would be the environment art for the different locations and planets. They are beautiful and gives a nice idea of the place, although I'm not sure if they are the actual place the game characters can run on. The downside of the book is layout. There are pockets of space on pages which can really be used to pack more art. Text represents a substantial portion of the book, but is interesting to read so it's alright. As a MMORPG, I was expecting a lot more character designs, a whole lot more. There's a nice amount but somehow I don't feel like the universe is very populated. I'm comparing this to the other video game art book The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed which feels packed in every sense. I've checked out the website for Star Wars: The Old Republic and there are lots of concept art there. Last time I check, it's over 160 pieces. There many on the website that's not even in the book. Maybe that's why the book can feel sparse at times. Some of the artwork in the book, especially the ones on spaceships are the more detailed pieces but they are printed too small. If you download the high resolution artwork from the website, they are several times bigger than the ones in the book! This book is mixed bag. It's has good production stories but ruined by bad layout and seemingly incomplete selection of artwork. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

Text overload, website art,
This review is from: The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Old Republic (Hardcover)
Having gone through multiple times to find a reason to actually keep this book, i just couldnt. Its a waste of money (compared to what other art books offer).
You'll say, "but its star wars", which is true; but as much as i am a fan of it, i like the art, not the text about star wars. This book contains way too much text and they literally have page to page text walls with a 2 inch picture in the middle of 2 pages. Are you kidding me? To make it worse, 99% of the art in the book are images that can be found on their main website from when they started showing game concepts in order to market the game. These are 2 years old and have been over used in posters and advertising media. Is this all you've got? Disappointing. Save yourself the money and get other star wars books. Whoever put this book together clearly never picked up "The Art of Force Unleashed". That thing is a masterpiece by comparison. |

Discover the beauty and magic of Bs As visiting the Congreso Nacional, Catedral Metropolitana, Casa de Gobierno and Plaza de Mayo. Visit the streets of Tango, in San Telmo, traditional neighborhood, where this typical dance lives. Stop at to La Boca, colorful neighborhood, which some years ago Italian immigrants adopted as their home, and today has become shelter for famous artists. Enjoy Palermo, a residential district with parks and elegant buildings. Then we will continuo to one of the most exclusive and sophisticated neighborhoods: La Recoleta where among other attractions we find the famous Cemetery and the Church of Pilar, next to picturesque cafes and restaurants. Finally, we will visit the newest neighborhood of Buenos Aires city: Puerto Madero, the antique port of Buenos Aires, totally renewed and now as the mayor gastronomic area of the city. The passengers can finish the tour in this area or in Galerias Pacifico Mall in downtown or in your hotel. At night (19.30hrs approx.) enjoy Tango Show & Dinner. A dance loved and well recognized in the whole world. It is a genuine creation born in Buenos Aires city at the end of the 19th century, from the deepest of the soul of the people: in the bank of the Riachuelo (Creek), in its bares with the jacks and the cuarteadores (Workers like butchers), and in the conventillos of the Neighborhood South, wherefrom the guapos, compadritos and malevos were arising, the men that mention so many letters of tango. About 1920 the Tango began to change its perspective, being a popular music and with a full style that entered the social life of every "porteno" (people of Buenos Aires Port), and also with strong international repercussion: there was arising a new artistic expression "the Art of the Tango". Come and enjoy the glamour, emotion and sophistication of this music that marks an Argentine identity about the whole world. Return to the hotel in Buenos Aires. Overnight.

It actually occupies an area of 1200 Hectareas (2965 acres) mainly dedicated to agricultural activities, and for the last 20 years, it has also been exploited as a tourism resort. Once we arrive, you will enjoy a wine reception with empanadas; then you will spend the day : a guided visit to the museum & folklore with malambo and boleadoras, the field day culminates with an exhibition and mix-up of matched-together horse herds (tropillas), and then autochthonous horseback sport called "carreras de sortijas" (ring-races), all of which show the remarkable dominion exerted by gaucho upon his horses.

"Good Book - Robotic Narrator"
This is a good book. I have read it before and have found it very useful, whether you are in a difficult period of your marraige or perfectly happy and want to keep it that way. Gottman describes the concepts he has developed over his years of observation and research, and also gives you practicle tools to both assess the state of your relationship in any one area and also to strengthen it.
My issue was with the narrator. He was so deadpan and monotone. I realise it is a piece of non-fiction but still? I don't want to spend several hours of my time listening to an uninteresting voice. It is a pity because I have heard John Gottman speak and he is very charismatic. I would have much prefered he read his own book.
"Nice idea for fans of the show"
I like the idea that we're getting a little bit extra. Damian Lewis' acting is superb and his voice is easy to listen to.
"Very disappointing"
The content was just uninteresting. I have read around this topic for years now. Roach presents nothing new and unfortunately fails to add the intelligent commentary that I was expecting.
Far worse however was the narration. Honestly! What is wrong with her voice? Did anyone listen to this recording before publishing it? Why does she feel the need to over-dramatise nonfictional quotes and make them all sound stupid and implausible. Whether scientists or spiritual mediums, it is not for the narrator to make judgements on their credibility.
I really enjoyed Mary Roach's "Stiff" narrated by Shelly Frasier, so this was a huge disappointment. Not sure now whether to try another of her books.
"Great story & Best narrator I've heard"
A wonderful, sweet story that makes me feel nostalgic for England. I would not think a child character could be so interesting but Flavia is simply enchanting.
Jayne Entwistle is for sure the best narrator I have heard so far. She brings the story, and all the characters to life. I am sure reading in for a child is no easy feat, but Entwistle's voice masterfully conjures up Flavia's intrigue and excitement. A delightful listen. I'm downloading the next book now.
"I want to meet Little Bee"
Interesting that this is written by a man, with such strong, almost exclusively female characters. This is a great read. For me, an English women, it was authentic and took me back home to London. His descriptions bring it to life. The depth of each character is what really draws you in, and hearing the same story told from two perspectives. I am left wanting to meet this Little Bee.
The narrator is good, and believable, but more so for Bee than for Sarah.
"Beautifully written & excellently read."
Roach manages a very sensitive topic with so much care and ease. It is beautifully written and excellently read. The content is interesting, educational and thought-provoking. Very good.
I came away not understanding what his point was in writing this book. Nothing he said was new to me. It is all very commonsensical. That would be ok if he'd actually finished each chapter with some practical tools for parents. Here's the concept, now here's how to put it into practice with your own children. Lazy! Don't waste your money.

The Legend of the Lamington
Much speculation surrounds the origins of the humble Lamington. The story I love most involves a Frenchman. {Of course.} Yes, just as we've observed in the past, the French find their way into the most surprising and seemingly innocuous of things, including a sweet treat that's considered to be an iconic Australian food. The most romantic of the legends {or so I think} starts in the grand old household of Lord and Lady Lamington, residents for a time of Old Government House, just down the road from this, and overlooking the Brisbane River and the old City Botanic Gardens. According to the official website for Old Government House {newly restored and one of Brisbane's sandstone beauties}, "Lord Lamington was the ninth governor of Queensland and it was his French chef at Old Government House, Armand Galland, who first thought to coat cubes of stale sponge cake in melted chocolate and then dip it in coconut, a touch thought to be inspired by his Tahitian wife, when unexpected visitors arrived in 1901."
If you want to make some of your own from scratch, you could try the more traditional version here, or a modern take by Gourmet Traveller here. {Australian measures used throughout.}
Old Government House has its own Tea Room based in the 1872 kitchen and spreading to the shady central courtyard of this gorgeous old sandstone building, where you can take High Tea and other refreshments, including lamingtons made to the original recipe. {"Original" according to this legend, at least.}
Bon Appetit!

Two illustrations in one post. JACKPOT! Now I want to have tea with you at Old Gov House!
Yep, that is a romantic story. Do men realize how truly easy it is to capture our hearts? Perhaps it is not our hearts they are aiming for. Food for thought. :D
How wise you are to throw Cafe Observer some sweets. That should give any kitties a chance to run and hide.
P.S. Most of the stories I love most involve a Frenchman too. ;-) Cafe ~ some of them, at least. :) BTW, I thought of you when I was illustrating this plate of treats.
Katie ~ I'll 'fess up that I've never made lamingtons, so if you come here, bring your mighty fine apron and we'll give them a whirl together!
Cali ~ LOL on all counts! We shall take tea there together, and shall we place a small wager as to whether we bump into a Frenchman?
Amy ~ problem + chocolate = solution Maths at its finest. ;)WOW! A tea there must be a royal experience!!
Garden LizardAs Katie said—and I'm just one of them (the people who want to join you in this pretty courtyard for tea and lamingtons. Just out of curiosity (because supposedly you can get pretty much anything here in NYC), I checked and found that there is indeed a place here (opened by a transplanted Aussie) where they sell lamingtons, and also meat pies and other good things from Down Under. Here it is, but I think I'll follow Petrea's lead and hold out in hope of having high tea in Brisbane with you.
Merci, grazie, thank you for joining our conversation lounge. Your smile lights up the room. Even more beautifully than our crystal chandelier. x

How Do I Stop Pop-Ups In Words With Friends

Shawn from Minnesota writes:
I play Words With Friends on my tablet and every single time I make a move an ad pops up. I have to watch at least a few seconds of it before I can get back to the game. How can I get rid of these pop-ups?
There's one solution, Shawn. You can pay for the full version of Words With Friends. It will cost you $4.99, but you will be spared those commercials. Otherwise, those ads are just the price you pay for your "free" app.

General Description |
Taynish Biosphere Reserve, located in south-west Scotland on the coast of Argyll, represents native mixed woodland, with wet and dry heath, grassland, and coastal ecosystems. There is grazing of beef cattle and sheep in land adjacent and near to the biosphere reserve, with some controlled grazing carried out within the area. In the wider area, there is considerable coniferous forestry development, and fishing (including creels) and fish farming in the lochs. Natural harbors, such as Crinan, form a base for small-scale commercial boat trips and local and visiting private craft. The area has a significant amenity value to tourists. Monitoring and research projects is a primary objective of the area's management plan. A resource pack is issued to all local schools to encourage use of the area. A training service is provided for primary school teachers to encourage self sufficiency when using the biosphere reserve as a resource. Other training has been provided for specialists and land managers, forestry, and reserve staff. Proposals made in the periodic review for extending this reserve to meet the Seville criteria are being considered. |

edtFTPj/PRO 4.0.0
edtFTPj/PRO is a Java library that performs secure file transfers. It supports FTPS (FTP over SSL), both explicit and implicit modes, and SFTP (FTP via SSH). It also supports asynchronous transfers and FTP connection pools. All major FTP operations are supported, including both active and passive modes. It provides a progress monitor interface, allowing applications to receive progress updates for their file transfers. The library is built on the open source edtFTPj and shares its API. It is compatible with Android 1.5 and above.
This release adds support for firstname.lastname@example.com compression (delayed compression). Algorithm settings for SSH now apply to instances (they were static properties). Support has been added for FTPS servers that require logging in prior to PBSZ/PROT. A 'type' command has been added to the script engine. A timeout has been applied to getting a connection from the connection pool. setCheckDirReadableForChDir() has been added to SSHFTPClient. There is a fix so that IBM JVMs supports AES encrypted private keys.

Jennifer Hawkins, the former Miss Universe, has a bikini-ready body and spectacular legs widely envied by all. Recently, she has been linked with Bioglan Superfood Projects. Here's a look at her health tips.
Jennifer eats healthy most of the time but she too has her indulgences like everybody else. For her, sticking to a low-carbohydrate diet works, but that doesn't mean this diet will work for all. Also when she eats protein, she doesn't get hungry often.
For breakfast, she goes in for Special K, Weet-Bix or eggs on toast. Her lunch includes either a chicken or tuna salad or a sandwich with wholemeal bread. Her favourite meal is lean mince with broccoli and a nice sauce to go with it which she cooks by herself.
Especially before a shoot or parade, Jennifer pays more attention to the amount of carbohydrates she takes in. She feels that the biggest challenge while following a diet is socialising as it involves amazing food and it becomes hard to say no. Her friends too are very supportive and when she has to go in for a shoot the next day, she just has one cocktail and her friends are sweet enough to keep the bread basket away from her.
She likes maintaining a balance life. In addition to working out and staying healthy, she makes sure she keeps aside some time for her family and friends. She believes that this is good for the soul and she makes it a point of connecting with people.
When she feels she doesn't want to work out, she somehow motivates herself by just getting out of bed and get dressed and go. She feels the best thing to do is to talk yourself into doing things you don't feel like doing but are good for you. She feels least motivated during the winter season.
Given 15 minutes to include exercise as a part of her day, she prefers either going for an intense run of eleven kilometres per hour on the treadmill or a circuit which includes triceps, squats and situps. She does two sessions of Pilates a week and while going on a circuit she does 30 reps and four sets of each.
Her advice to a woman aiming to get healthy and fit is to imagine the goal and to imagine how one wants to be. She believes that positive thoughts are a key to a healthy and fit body.

Elements Of A Good PowerPoint Presentation
PowerPoint is the hands-down choice for pitching your ideas, products and services. Your first line of thought should be to include information that caters specifically to the audience you will be presenting you. For example, a presentation to the CFO would focus on financial metrics whereas the VP of marketing may prefer more attention on sales numbers and market research. Once you have your basic research in place, follow our guidelines to make the most of the opportunity given to you and make sure you implement these elements of a good PowerPoint presentation.
Use an outline format
One of the biggest complaints about presentations is that the presenter/presentation designer simply reads the slide show, word-for-word. PowerPoint presentations are meant to function as outlines and guides that supplement your presentation rather than a transcript of your pitch. If a person simply needed to read the slide show word for word, then you could save everyone (including yourself) a bunch of time by simply e-mailing the document and skipping the meeting. Of course, people are not likely to read a 5,000-word slide show dissertation. The presentation should logically flow and work with your spoken presentation. Use the presentation to reinforce key points, encourage discussion and leave your listeners with a tangible take-away item. Use keywords and catch phrases on your slides that can easily be jotted down and remembered by your audience. Plus, with less on the overhead to read and look at, they are more likely to focus on you and what you have to say about the corresponding slides.
Be clean and efficient
We know that lots of people think a bright rainbow background, floating circles and magically appearing text are just fantastic. Yes, they are cool (in a geeky kind of business-world way), but they are not for office-related PowerPoint presentations. Bright colors can make the presentation hard to read and discourage your audience from giving it merit. Fancy animation and movement can also confuse the reader, particularly if it's unclear if something is supposed to automatically show up. And the futuristic techniques can also quickly become the most memorable part of your presentation, rather than your message. In a worst-case scenario, you may make an error in the animation sequence and that can really be a show-stopper. Additionally, going the extra mile to add animation just takes longer — both to build and to conduct and control in the meeting. Be respectful of people's time and show others your gifts of efficiency and clarity instead of your hidden artsy flare.More useful elements of a good PowerPoint presentation...

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Method for worker to determine its "rank" on a single machine? From: Ashley Pittman (ashley_at_[hidden]) Date: 2010-12-10 13:37:49
For a much simpler approach you could also use these two environment variables, this is on my current system which is 1.5 based, YMMV of course.
Actually orte seems to set both OMPI_COMM_WORLD_LOCAL_RANK and OMPI_COMM_WORLD_NODE_RANK, I can't see any difference between the two.

Is Radar an absolute necessity?
Sometimes we get all pumped up about our particular knowledge of a subject and fail to either respond to the post or acknowledge how the real world works.
First, the Pardeys - wonderful folks with an astounding set of accomplishments, both sailing and commercial - view electronics as tho'' they are still being built of transistors in the early 1980''s. Radars today are not only highly reliable but flexibly programmable. There''s no reason amp draw should categorically remove radar from use on a boat capable of offshore or alongshore cruising; just set your zone and scan timing to suit your needs.
Once a collision occurs, along with a loss for which you are seeking coverage while hoping to avoid blame, all facts associated with the collision will be considered. There''s no giant maritime rule book that says you will or will not be covered, fined or sued should you be equipped with radar but not use it. OTOH the issue will be in part whether each party conducted themselves in a prudent, seamanlike manner. Since half of each day is dark, sailboat crews at sea are often short-handed, and there''s often less than unlimited visibility, it''s pretty easy to imagine how lack of a radar''s use could be seen as contributory to the loss. And yes, the ROR''s have been used as the legal basis for radar non-use to be considered contributory.
Radar is a big help to offshore, short-handed crews. It''s no panacea but is close to adding a crew member, assuming it''s properly tuned and programmed for the conditions. One of the things we found most helpful about using it - even in the clear Caribbean - is that it allowed us to anticipate close crossing situations well before visual sightings made this possible (even in clear daylight), after which a patient, professional call on VHF resulted in the ship changing course to suit the sailboat many times. When running down wind with all sails vanged and on the vane, this is a big labor savings...and it''s usually fun to talk to the other ship''s crew, too. Using radar effectively is a bit like playing a musical instrument; you get the most value from it when you apply some effort to its use - as opposed to a knotmeter or, oftentimes, a GPS readout. I think that''s why some folks undersell radar; they turn it on and then occasional stare at it, expecting it to ''do something'', I guess.
Radar has no downsides that I can see except the financial one. Whether it justifies the expense is a function of multiple factors: the cruising grounds, size of crew, how long it will be earning its keep, what effort the crew makes to use it effectively, and what one must not buy because of installing radar among them.

More copies of this ISBNHeavenly Serbia: From Myth to Genocideby Branimir Anzulovic
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:As violence and turmoil continue to define the former Yugoslavia, basic questions remain unanswered: What are the forces behind the Serbian expansionist drive that has brought death and destruction to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo? How did the Serbs rationalize, and rally support for, this genocidal activity?
Heavenly Serbia traces Serbia's nationalist and expansionist impulses to the legendary battle of Kosovo in 1389. Anzulovic shows how the myth of "Heavenly Serbia" developed to help the Serbs endure foreign domination, explaining their military defeat and the loss of their medieval state by emphasizing their own moral superiority over military victory. Heavenly Serbia shows how this myth resulted in an aggressive nationalist ideology which has triumphed in the late twentieth century and marginalized those Serbs who strive for the establishment of a civil society. "Modern Serbian nationalism...and its contradictory connections...have been sources of considerable scholarly interest...Branimir Anzulovic's compendium is a good example of the genre, made all the more useful by Anzulovic's excellent command of the literature." —Ivo Banac, History of Religions Author interview with CNN: http://www.cnn.com/chat/transcripts/branimir_chat.html Book News Annotation:Traces the brutal and futile drive for a Greater Serbia to a national mythology, the Heavenly Serbia, which appeared soon after the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. It attributes the Serb's defeat by the Turks and the loss of the medieval Serbian state to the preference for moral salvation over military victory. Anzulovic identifies its pre- Christian roots and shows how the myth helped the people survive centuries of oppression but has been exploited by political and religious leaders.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Traces the mythology behind Serbia's nationalistic and expansionistic impulses.
Synopsis:The body of the law is an ambiguous phrase. Conventionally, it designates the law as a determinate corpus; legal codes, statutes, and the rulings of common law. But it can also refer to the subjected body that is produced by and is part of the law. This subjected body is necessary for the law's existence.
Thinking Through the Body of the Law reconceives the role of the body in the founding, maintaining, and regulation of our legal systems and social order and elaborates on its implications for issues of legal responsibility and justice. Taking into account and sometimes challenging the tenets of critical legal theory, critical race theory, and feminist jurisprudence, these essays examine the body and the law as they relate to surrogacy, the Holocaust, land-rights for Aboriginals, murder, the media and insanity, taxation, genetic engineering, and sexy dressing and sexual harassment. Synopsis:This book traces the link between Serbian national mythology and genocide in the former Yugoslavia. Unlike other books dealing with this subject, HEAVENLY SERBIA analyzes the conflict's long-term sources, going as far back as the pre-Christian Slavic pagan religion. It also points out ways in which Serbian leaders convinced at least some members of the international community of the righteousness of their aims.
About the AuthorBranimir Anzulovic was born in Zagreb Croatia. He has a degree in philosophy from the University of Zagreb, and a doctorate in comparative literature from Indiana University. He has taught at Prescott College and Indiana University, and worked in the Yugoslav service of the Voice of America in Washington, D.C. He is now an independent researcher residing in Vienna, Virginia. Among his publications are theater and film reviews, and essays in cultural history and literary criticism.
